Closing Doors

Closing Doors is a short horror game where you embark on a mysterious journey – not to go up or down a building, but to face silence, invisible gazes, and unnamed fear. You have only one task: press the button, close the door, and wait to see what awaits you on the next floor.

Closing Doors Story

The game starts with you in an elevator, where you feel something is wrong. You don't know who you are, where you're going, or why you're there, but each floor, empty hallway, and shadowy figure suggests that something is watching you.

Closing Doors Gameplay

The game is simple: you stand in the elevator, press the close button, wait for it to open on a new floor, and then repeat. But the repetition isn't boring – each time the door opens, a new atmosphere is created: an empty hallway, an old blood stain on the floor, a person standing motionless in the dark, or simply an eerie silence.

You can't run, you can't do much, and that's what makes Closing Doors so scary – it forces you to wait passively, and doesn't tell you what's going to happen next.

Features

• The fear comes from simplicity: No overused jumpscares, no monsters chasing you. The fear comes from not knowing what's waiting for you behind the door.
• Escalating unease: First there are empty floors, then a person standing far away in the dark, then getting closer every time you look away.
• The creepy atmosphere is well-built: the background noise, the low lighting, and the way the game uses silence effectively create a sense that "something's not right."
• The surprise ending: When you think you've gotten used to the slow pace of the game, Closing Doors suddenly launches an effective scare that makes the player jump.

Although it only lasts about 10 minutes, Closing Doors leaves a memorable aftertaste for players who love the psychological horror genre. It doesn't try to tell a story too clearly but lets you feel and infer for yourself. The simplicity in gameplay is also a strong point, helping to focus entirely on the atmosphere and emotions.

An indie game worth trying if you like quiet spiritual moments—where you know something is wrong but can't do anything but... close the door and keep going. If you like Atmospheric horror games, then explore Be Honest.
